A Costly Consequence

The year 2013 exploded with a smorgasbord of showbiz scandals, controversies and exposes: mismanagement issue between a network and its star, star's pregnancy rumors, network's alleged misdealings, concubinage, adultery, break-ups, a botched Filipino reporter's Hollywood interview that went viral. And we are not done with January yet!

And now, it's Monday, and already we awoke at the possibility of two things: a cancellation of a star-studded teleserye about to be aired soon, or the possibility of one of its lead star's character being axed so soon. What do we know? Looks like stories like this will fill the media, especially the social networks, in the coming days and weeks.

The new teleserye NT stars among others, the veterans in the industry and the networks' young and popular talents. This is veteran actress VA's comeback vehicle after a long break from showbiz. NT had recently started taping and early on had began to encounter some difficulties. Long before taping started, both fans and observers had preconceived notion that NT will not be as successful as the other huge teleseryes before it. Reasons such as the negative image of some of its lead stars, both the young and the veterans alike, have valid points.

Young female lead FL and young male lead ML stars are each both beset with relationship issues, quite unpalatable, to say the least. Veteran female VF is consumed by her own personal issues -- alleged uncontrolled emotions and dependence on certain stuff. Insider reports alleged the first conflict that happened during the taping between ML and VF could have been avoided had VF learned to keep her emotions in check. After all, this is a major project for her, and any wrong move will cost her more.

A little control and sacrifice would have gone a long way and saved everyone's day. The shouting incident was a huge letdown that pushed the production and network to put in immediate and major changes into the line-up of NT's stars. The circumstances certainly shaped the end. And sadly, it is the first casualty, VF, who will have to go.

"A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them." ~ Oscar Wilde

Hmmm... I think every newcomer is a "diamond in the rough" and can be honed given the right work material, workshops and just about anything to perfect their craft. Even veteran stars went through this process and it is their "obligation" to pay it forward by guiding these newcomers as they work for their worth in showbizlandia. In the end, let's just hope that both VF and ML, and even the network/s would learn something from this. This too shall pass.

Isa lang ang ibig sabihin nyan - Diamante was given the chance and she blew it! Bakit, inspite of her kanegahan history, ABS still gambled on her thinking that she indeed is a reformed artist na. And yet, what did she do? First day taping pa lang, labas na agad ng natural nya? Maliit na bagay ang issue nya kay Budoy, she so over reacted. Wala sa lugar ang pagdi-diva, she's just so out of touch, pathetic. Kya ayun, nag-first day, last day siya! Umpisa pa lang, nega na! Serves her right. Can't blame the network, can you?

Major project for her kasi nakasama siya sa mga young stars ng ABS, aba MAJOR talaga yun, noh! Who does she think she is? ABS is clever enough not to retain her. Alam nilang she will only be a liability for the program. Just saying.

on the contrary, who does budoy think he is? hindi si diamond star ang late at wala sa focus. it was budoy. like what you said, this is supposed to be her comeback project so definintely she would want it to be perfect. paano magiging perpekto kung bano ang mga kasama mo?

To 4:43 and 2:37, you both be rational and objective. Wag pairalin ang pagka-fantard dito. I don't think you're Diamond fans. From the tone of your comments, you sound like Gerard Haters aka Sarah and Kim diehards. Get real, people. You're so consumed by your emotions, grabe!

I will give this one a try. If everyone plays their characters well then I'll stick. If not, I have the remote control and I can change channels as I wish. My point is, let us all graduate from personality-driven to character-driven type of viewers. Let's focus on how they played their role rather than how we see them as showbiz personalities.

Young female lead FL and young male lead ML stars are each both beset with relationship issues, quite unpalatable, to say the least.-- okay, i dont care about maldita sis of am but with budoy... i thought he's happy w/ kakanin?

same thing with piolo..when he was with kc, man, the kc fans were all praises and defending him against the gender issues..then they broke off and the fans turned against him..same story with gerald and sarah/kim....so quick to judge...c'mon people, "pure fans", anyone who's so good and saintly, throw the first stone!

i'm not a fan of popstar but i like her better than these guys. the lady has the talent to showcase. not a shallow type of celebrity. i think you should widen your thinking. it doesn't mean people state their opinion against your idol, they're already fans of other artists they had conflict with. we have different opinions.

Ok the plot of this show is...Kubeta's boyfriend( Budoy) is a prisoner din she went to school to be a lawyer.. Toinnk nakakatawa as in I'd rather believe that unicorn do exist than seeing Kubeta as a lawyer even if it's just a show.

I hope diamante is still included. The fact that she still chooses to act and be on set is her wanting to fight her demons. Everyone has it. The other actors have it. The executives have it too. Give her a chance. Ms diamante star fight back. Fight back not only your great acting but with your wisdom and humility too. Sincerely - a fan who hopes youll be happy soon and ready to inspire your generation and the young ones as well.

If this twist in NT is a feeler from the network, bueno, WE WANT MARIA BACK. Let's see if she still has it, but that's not gonna happen if you don't give her a chance. As for that Budoy, TAKE HIM OUT AND SET HIM STRAIGHT before masayang ang charm ng batang yan.

ABS made a good choice. Kung umpisa plang eh may problema na, how much more kung everyday cyang ganyan. Laging pack up coz she can't control her emotion. We all knw what she 've been through. ABS cannot guarantee to that. And besides she's a veteran so sana lang sya na umunawa.So to save a lot of money and energy cya nlang ang inalis.

This teleserye will go down the path of that Piolo Pascual-Cristine Reyes teleserye. Simply put, the leads (Cristine and Gerald) they are 'selling' here are just too bland and are not very good actors, to begin with. Add to that, both don't have chemistry together.

i was so dismayed in knowing that DS was axed on her comeback. This is the risk of network in getting DS when they know that DS just came from depression. The comeback is a chance for her to work and possibly a therapy for her in some sense. We really don't know the whole story. But the network should have given DS a chance again. Why did they give DS a comeback if they don't believe in her skills? Give a comeback & just for a slight mistake, axed her. Even if DS has some shortcomings, we should never forget that she was and is a great actress. Likewise, GA should be given a warning as well..never come to the set unprepared. Hirap talaga sa mga network ratings agad ang sinasaisip. Di ba nila naisip na mas maganda sana yan if binigay nalang ang role ni GA ke Paolo A or Cocojam if this is a drama teleserye para naman maka level kahit papaano sa acting ni DA and para mas marami talaga ang manonood!
